Perfectly located from that point of view. In a league with greater travelling support it would be a major (perhaps the only) big plus in Jackman's favour.

But of course, as you know yourself, there is not much room for football grounds in the centre of a city.

IMO, transport wise, Rathbane is perfect. The problem is not getting there its being there.:rolleyes:

I was at a cracking game in Rathbane around 1986ish. Johnny "Jabber" (What's his name?)was brilliant. Two Rep of Ireland internationals scored. Paul Mc Gee & Tommy Gaynor. Final score 1 -1 . It is easy to exaggerate attendances, but there must've been 5000 at the game. About 200 travelled from Galway.

I also remember Limerick City coming to Galway around the same time. They wore yellow and green (like Norwich). Limerick brought lots of fans to the game. Pat Grace arrived in a huge American f***ing car .

That's my 2 cents worth to the thread. :D

He was a truly brilliant player. He stood out from the others.

Generic 'Jabber'

Dunno Gar: I knew a John Walsh from County Limerick, (no relation to your brilliant JW) who also gloried in the nickname 'Jabber' and there was nothing risque about it.

It seems to be just a Limerick nickname in the same way the 'Cha' was in Cork and 'Spud' was in Dublin

Does anybody besides me remember him as a copious belcher during games? He was always belching.............or am I just plain wrong and setting myself up for an "Idiot post of the month" award?
